Synopsis

Amazon.com
Throughout the '60s, Andy Williams's weekly TV variety show was mandatory viewing for many American households. A highlight of every season was Williams's Christmas show--something that became such a holiday tradition that the singer continued to take a Christmas tour on the road to sold-out audiences for decades after the TV show had ended. This CD is an even better representation of those magic TV moments, however, since the songs are taken directly from the '60s specials, when Williams's vocals were still in top form. Appropriately, a few of these songs became holiday classics: "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" is almost as famous at this point as Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song," also featured here. And the beautiful "May Each Day" ended every Andy Williams show, holiday-oriented or not. Essentially, this is the equivalent of aural holiday comfort food for a generation of aging baby boomers. --Bill Holdship

"Yes, back in the early '60s, Andy Williams was doing a weekly television and every year when the Holiday Season came around...his warm and wonderful Christmas Show was the best on the air...my children and I would snuggle up in our living room on a cold winters night and watch our favorite entertainer sing traditional and popular Christmas songs, putting the entire media in the Holiday mood.This is a nostalgic trip back through time...unforgettable live performances that we all remember and cherish...Andy shares the Christmas message through song...this is a classic album for your special time of the year ~ HAPPY HOLIDAYS with ANDY WILLIAMS!Total Time: 58:23 on 15 Tracks ~ Concord/Neon Tonic Records NTD-6501-2 ~ (2001)"
A Rare Christmas Treat---ANDY WILLIAMS Live--once again
Kelly R. Mix | salem, oregon USA | 11/10/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"From 1962 through 1983 Andy Williams was a staple for Christmas television viewing. Since then he has made only two specials, 1985's In Search of Santa Clause and 1994's Christmas Show Live from Branson. He is indeed a missed feature during holiday television viewing. However, this CD allows any lover of the Andy Williams Christmas Shows of the past to experience once again Andy signing Holiday and Seasonal favorites Live. What a treat. Thank you Andy for the Holiday treat---now let's all hope that he will soon be back on TV at the holidays---or any time. Andy we miss you."

"Anything that Andy Williams sing one can't go wrong. I have been a fan of his since his Cadence days and I have every Vinyl record that he's recorded, however Amazon does not distribute all of them---I could'nt afford to purchase all the CDs. that are listed. In my opinion, he is the most versitile singer of his generation including Sinatra and Tony Bennett."
